From the outside, there’s not much to distinguish the 2018 Toyota Sienna from its predecessor. And, heck, its cabin hasn’t been radically overhauled either. Yet the 2018 Sienna includes a variety of updates under the skin intended to give the venerable minivan a fighting chance against its younger rivals. The Sienna received a new engine
The Toyota Avalon has been serving upscale accommodations since the 1995 model year. Twenty-two years and three redesigns later, the Avalon is still one of the best choices in this class, if you like your cars as comfortable as an old pair of shoes. Its optional—and segment-exclusive—hybrid powertrain sips fuel, its cabin is well-built and
A year and a half since Scion introduced the iM in the United States, little more than a year since Toyota announced the Scion brand’s discontinuation, and six months since the Scion iM began to operate as the Toyota Corolla iM, almost every Toyota Corolla buyer chooses the inferior Corolla sedan instead of this hatchback.

I’ll declare my love for the Toyota 86 straight up. It’s been one of my favourite cars since its release about four years ago. So, to say I was excited to see what Toyota has done to it in its first major upgrade would be an understatement. To do anything to the 86 was fraught
The 2017 Toyota 86 takes over for the discontinued Scion FR-S as the brand’s entry-level sports coupe. Built in collaboration with Subaru, the 86 has the best of both brands jammed into one tiny, fun package. The 2017 Toyota 86 becomes the new name for the Scion FR-S, transported over when the Scion brand was
The TRD Pro adds two inches of lift up front over the base model Tundra. My tester’s Double Cab configuration meant this truck had a longer bed, whereas the Crew Max offers extra room in the back seat. It was clad in a Quicksand paint scheme, a color that harkens back to the venerable FJ40’s Dune Beige.
the recent version of the RAV4 has grown to become a much larger vehicle and this C-HR steps into its place and will challenge the likes of the Nissan Qashqai, Renault Kadjar, new Seat Ateca and more. With so much competition in the crossover class these days, the C-HR needs to do something really special
Based on Toyota‘s New Global Architecture (TNGA), the Japanese carmaker has announced the introduction of a new engine that would be 60 percent more fuel efficient than the current generation ones. These new engines would come into 60 percent of Toyota Group cars by 2021, starting with Japan, and later moving on to China, Asia,
